Shayla Nelson, 22, was also shot while in the driver seat of the vehicle, the witness said. She was transported to a local hospital where she was initially listed in serious condition, police said. Updates about her condition were not available.

The witness and a friend of the shooting victims said they did not want to be identifed in fear for their own safety.

Both gunshot victims were Saginaw-area residents and did not live at the complex, Saginaw Detective Sgt. Brent VanderHaar said. The gunman was on foot, VanderHaar said.

Police are working in the community to gather witness statements, he said.

Police have not confirmed that Stanford was the victim and members of Stanford's family did not want to speak Thursday.

The investigation is ongoing, VanderHaar said, asking anyone with information to contact the police department at 989-759-1598 or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-422-JAIL.

The two victims were the fourth and fifth shooting victims on the city's South Side within 24 hours Monday and Tuesday.
